A while ago I made an app for tracking baby activities because I became a parent and was horrified at how many permissions the existing apps required and how much tracking they contained. Both the app and the server are open source.
This is a web-app which also has an Android version in the Play Store (F-Droid didn’t accept it because they don’t feel like web-apps should be welcome in their store). On iPhones it can be installed as a PWA to the home screen.
Features:
- No tracking whatsoever
- End-to-end encrypted, no personal information is stored on the server unencrypted
- Track baby’s feeding, diaper changes, breast pumping and sleeping (more to come)
Links:

- https://github.com/RikudouSage/BabyJournalUi - the PWA source code

This super relevant to me. Just looking through all those apps in the store and how annoyingly they push subscription and in app purchases of dozens of dollars for basic features. Thanks for this. Hopefully more new parents find this.
Glad I could help! Feel free to contact me with features you need, I’m currently more or less developing it based on what I need, but if there’s something you’d like, I’ll definitely take that into consideration.
